In August of 1951, the stars came into alignment and I was born while Leo Fender was putting the finishing touches to the design of his greatest accomplishment...............The slab body Fender Precision Bass Guitar!

I was born to play bass!

The rest is history and so am I as "time keeps slippin', slippin', slippin', into the future"! (Steve Miller) And I find myself living in a time period where I don't belong.
